Possibly because both 'made' and 'owner' have been so extensively strip mined by web crawling spambots that even people who *used* to use them now deliberately omit them to reduce their junk mail load. I *NEVER* expose an email address on a web page directly if I can help it. And I would say they are of very little use otherwise since you couldn't even fill the fingers of one hand with the number of browsers that do something intelligent with it. Last time I checked, even Lynx couldn't handle anything except mailto: for the HREF - handling http: would be much better since I could direct people to a page with real information. -- Benjamin Franz
